Details

Depaul Ireland invites suitably qualified and experienced vehicle leasing providers to submit tenders for the operational lease of one wheelchair-accessible van (Lot 1) and one car (Lot 2) for a period of 36 months, with full maintenance included. Depaul Ireland is a charity working with individuals and families experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness. Its services include emergency accommodation, supported housing, Housing First, health and wellbeing services, community-based support and administrative functions. Many services operate continuously and support vulnerable individuals, so vehicle reliability, accessibility, safety and continuity of service are essential. The vehicle is intended primarily to support Depaul Ireland's Housing First and related operational activities, including the safe transport of service users, including wheelchair users, and staff. The successful Tenderer will be expected to work collaboratively with Depaul Ireland's nominated Contract Manager and relevant service personnel throughout the lease period.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this transport & logistics opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
